Recruit Profile
Versatile, Can Dominate at both Attack and Midfield, Fast with an Innate Ability to Scan Defenses, Excellent at Driving to the Cage, Finisher, Lefty Outside Shooter.
Lacrosse is my passion. Since 4th grade, lacrosse has been a top priority in my life. I have played competitively for highly ranked club teams for several years, playing against the best competition. I work hard to condition during the off season to play at my best. I am confident in dodging and finishing with both hands and pride myself on my ride at attack. As a lefty attackman, I finish my chances inside, but I am also a solid feeder and I bolster my teams offensive success with this ability. I am very successful at drawing double teams to dump the ball off to an open man, and I have a top-of-the-line finishers skill set, highlighted by a technically sound shooting ability. I am best working off-ball, where I am diligent in finding seams and soft spots in defenses and finishing everything in sight. Importantly, I have a strong outside shot, which allows me to keep defenses off-guard. I am an extremely reliable attackman who can be counted on to consistently Produce.
As a result of my successes, I have been honored to be recognized as a top 2022 player at attack. I was selected to play on the 2019 Under Armour All American Underclass Command Team representing New Jersey. I was named a two time MVP. Also in 2019, I was named to the All Star Team for the NXT Fall Philly Showcase. During that showcase, I was selected as a stand-out star on Manneys Mens Team. In 2020, I continued to meet the test and I was again selected to play attack on the Under Armour All American Underclass Highlight Team representing New Jersey. Also in 2020, I was honored, again, as an All Star at the NXT Summer Philly Showcase and I was selected to Manneys Mens Team as a star,Also was selected to be on the New Jersey National all star games team.
Finally, I always work tirelessly to achieve and aspire to be my best on the field and in the classroom. I want to bring my tenacity and drive to be a vital contributor to a college lacrosse program.
